First, let's talk about the roads. I-70 has been closed from Denver to
Frisco for 3 days. We're hoping it opens tomorrow so we can sink our skis
into 37" of powder that has fallen since the last day Loveland was open.
Loveland Pass won't open for quite some time. A big avalanche buried the
road under 40 feet of snow and fallen trees. Rumor has it 13 employees are
trapped at the resort and have had private use of Lift 1 for the last two
days. Can't get much better than that.

From what I undrstand, a big slide has also buried US 40 through
Berthoud. So, yeah, Winter Park was out of the question. A-Basin was the
plan, but you couldn't get there either. US 6 was closed from Keystone to
Loveland.Jason, Mike and his bro Jeff wound up at Copper Wednesday. They
had a mere couple of feet so far from the storm. Oh poor us, another powder
day. More later.

Made it to A-Basin today, after waiting 2 hours on US 6 for the road to
open. Jason and I were about 50 cars back in a line that must have been a
few miles long. CDOT was flying a helicopter and dropping bombs from it on
anything that could potentially bury the road. Glad nothing slid... Winter
provided great entertainment for nearby onlookers with her ability to climb
high on a steep embankment through 4 feet of snow. It was a strange
morning. Will talk about the powder later.
